LEGO to Allocate $400 Million for Nuevo Leon Expansion, Creating 1,300 Jobs

LEGO Group is set to invest US$400 million in its Nuevo Leon plant, a project that will create over 1,300 jobs, expanding the facility’s packing and warehouse capabilities. This investment aligns with Mexico’s significant foreign direct investment (FDI) trends, where a substantial portion of capital comes from reinvestment by existing multinationals. The expansion, which includes a 62,000m² addition at the Cienega de Flores site, underscores LEGO’s confidence in local talent and its commitment to expanding its supplier base by 30%. The move also supports the broader manufacturing ecosystem in Nuevo Leon, noted for its significant job creation and advanced manufacturing infrastructure.
